Live Music Task Force Mission

The Gun and Doll Show

The mission of the Live Music Task Force is twofold: To call attention to the enormous decline in the number and visibility of live musical performances; and to educate both consumers and producers about the limitations and consequences of replacing live musicians with technological facsimiles and recordings.

The live music experience is among the deepest and most profound to be found in life, and no technology can replace it, whether in the theatre, the nightclub or concert hall. The Live Music Task Force and its sponsors stand together to support every adult and child's need for this experience, as a cultural and educational influence, as a medium of entertainment, and as an integral part of public events and celebrations.
